Was almost kind if spooky that there was no bug noise. No crickets, even at night. 😳
Otherwise great.

The cabin was great with a wonderful location the only down part was the long walk to the restroom for the ladies after dark.

My family has been trying to stay here for years and we finally were able to make it happen.
I was a bit nervous after reading reviews and was expecting the cabin to be gross and infested with mice. We went in July 2024 during a particular hot streak and when we arrived at the cabin I was pleased to find the cabin was quite cool. We were traveling with a young child and the cabin remained cool through the entire day and was a perfect place for him to take his naps.
The cabin was clean. A bit broken down and old but not gross. We never heard any mice in the walls but if you didn’t clean up after yourself there was evidence of critters getting into food etc. which is how it is at any camp ground.
There is no power but they provided laterns for light which we also had some of our own.
There is a stove and I would say don’t rely on the oven to get too hot and bake anything in a hurry but works.
Fridge is really nice and there is a freezer.
We just used our sleeping bags as bedding so if you are expecting sheets being your own.
The bathroom is a bit of a walk but not too bad and is really nice to have a toilet.
You need to pack out all your own trash so keep that in mind when thinking logistics but they have best safe containers to store while during your stay.

First time back at Magee in about 10 years. The setting is beautiful with the meadow and all of the songbirds. This place is a birdwatcher's dream rental-Robins, Warblers, Catbirds, Pine Siskins, Flycatchers, Cedar Waxwings, Bald Eagles and more. Unfortunately, the cabin is getting pretty run down. There is no running water in the cabin and the pots, pans, dishes etc...are grungy. Furniture is stained and worn out. There is a hot shower and a flush toilet in one of the nearby buildings which is nice. Given that they charge ~$100 per night and it is booked all season, they ought to be able to invest in some maintenance.
